Very cute! The tooth fairy used to leave my daughter mystery notes in invisible ink! Good thing my husband knew what to do to get the ink to show up (hold it over heat), because I sure didn't! By the way, Santa sent our daughter on a treasure hunt last Christmas. She had to find 6 or 7 clues that led her around the house and all over the yard before she discovered her new electric scooter sitting on the front porch!

YOU CRACK ME UP! I am not the only mom who forgets! I have done that same letter to the tooth fairy. Could not find your tooth...could you put it in a better spot? :) We do the Santa letters too! Can't wait for BL tonight!!!

We had a similar situation. Noah didn't put it in his tooth box like he usually does so we said the tooth fairy looked there and didn't see it. The next night the tooth fairy came and there it was. Another time when I was out of town, my hubby forgot but since Noah slept in his room that night instead of his bed, he used that as an excuse. One of these days we'll get caught I'm sure!

I love this story! So precious! You are soooo smart with your little notes from Santa, I think every holiday character should leave tips behind. Easter Bunny: "Don't forget to brush your teeth after eating this candy!"

We do notes just like that at our house too. The only problem is that now my 9 year old (who disturbingly still believes in the tooth fairy) rights out huge lists of questions that she expects the tooth fairy to answer.

I played along initially. I even answered the question "when is your birthday?" a few years ago. And she never forgot the answer and now leaves the tooth fairy birthday cards and expects a tip and thank you note in return. (In case you were wondering, the tooth fairy's birthday is April 1st!)

You are too funny! I remember my mom would leave me notes from Santa, but after a while I could still tell it was her handwriting!

I like the way you say, Chill girl! My two-year old always squirms when I try to put her clothes on and one day I was getting frustrated. I told her to just chill out and she says back to me, "No! You chill out!" Maybe I'll start using the "chill, girl" and it won't sound so bad coming back to me!

Jill my friend, you have the handwriting of a serial killer. I think you've only got a couple of more years before you'll have to start writing with your other hand inorder for them to not realize it's you.

I forgot to do the tooth fairy thing once too and had to explain that maybe the tooth fairy had been real busy and didnt make it to our house or something like that.

We also leave notes from Santa, and even Rudolph. We put straw and reindeer food (oatmeal with glitter in it) out on the patio and then when we do the letter from santa we take sidewalk chalk and write something from rudolph too

You seriously are crackin me up!! We are LAME tooth fairies!! In my defense we have four kids, and two who seem to be losing teeth every other week. I would be lying horribly if I said that we have only missed once...or twice. Our children now understand that if they don't get to bed ON TIME, and go RIGHT to sleep, the tooth fairy will pass by their window and wait for a safer night to arrive. She is small, shy, and has soo many kids to visit that she can't take the chance on going in on someone who is awake...it is working so far, and unfortunately buys us WAY TOO MUCH TIME....we are pathetic...!!!!

Those notes are so ingenious! My mom used to do that too, at least with my Santa notes, because I wrote a letter to Santa every year, and he had to write back, of course. And I would usually take them to heart, at least for a little while. Your girls are so adorable, that picture of Annika without her bottom teeth just made me grin. Thank you for sharing!!

HA! Teaching moments are code for Crap How Can I Salvage This moments. Our holiday mascots must be smokin the same stuff yours are, cause I get lots of opportunities to exercise my creativite reasoning also! How dull would it be though if we were dealing with the pros, and not the 3rd stringers that we've obviously been given. Huzzah to surprises! Happy SITS day!

Annika was cute writing back to the tooth fairy! LOL You are so funny. Those notes from Santa are a good idea too! I bet when your girls grow up to be mom's, they'll write little notes to their children too! This is so cute!

I thought I was the only lame tooth fairy around! It's even gotten to be a household joke. My kids (5) are older now, so my 10 yr. old (the youngest) basically just makes a transaction with me. Sooo sad.

that is too funny... i love it... i had to act like the money fell off te bed onto the floor and rolled under the bed one time in order to save the situation... when they asked me she didn't take the tooth i said beacuse she had sooo many of that kind and she didn't need it... HA HA... off to read the Easter Bunny...

I love it! HA HA My DH and I do that same thing...kids are fun that way. We also had a similar situation with the tooth....only the boy couldn't find the money the TF left...he mentioned that the economy must have hit her too!! LOL So we double checked again...low and behold he finally found the money. Being a parent is tons of fun.

The tooth fairy didn't make it to our house one time either... thank goodness there was a thunderstorm that night - you know the tooth fairy has a hard time flying in those... but she did leave gold $1 coins under the pillow the next night - guess that makes up for the blooper. (You can read my post about it on my blog - 733blog.blogspot.com).

Good thinking on your feet! I can see the dilemma here. My girls are four and two so I haven't had to deal with this yet. Although, my four year old is dying to lose a tooth and is always asking if her tooth is wobbly yet. Love your notes! Your daughters seem to have great senses of humor themselves. I love their notes too.

Sounds like your tooth fairy was employed by the same agency ours was...ha!Sometimes, though, if we looked real hard we'd actually find the money stuck between the headboard and the mattress. One time we found it under the bed. What can I say? My kids were wild sleepers;)

This was so funny. I love your sense of humor...I do the same things to my kids! I love your site. Like you, I love scrapbooking and for the moment, my blog site has replaced my scrapbooking...i really need to learn how to digital scrapbook:)

Excellent job with the last minute solution! Moms are so smart. I think it's great you write letters to your kids. My mom always did that for me -- actually, Santa and the Easter Bunny used to make us go on scavenger hunts too. It was so much fun.

Nice save! My family's version of the "letters from Santa" is to leave clues to what a present is using who it is "to" and "from" on the tag. F'ex, a Harry Potter book would be "From Harry" instead of Mom or Santa.

I recently told my son while trying to get him to clean out and donate some toys that if he didn't donate and get rid of old and broken toys that Santa would see that he still had a lot of toys and wouldn't leave him any. But if he donated (or as he calls it supercated) toys that Santa would say, "Oh he needs more toys". That worked and we supercated a lot that day!

Just linking in over from SITS and had to tell you how much I loved your blog. In fact, I think I tinked a little in my pants as I was reading it. You are one funny mama! I LOVE the letters from Santa. I might have to steal that one.......

I could never bring myself to throw their little teeth away (I don't know what other moms do with them), so I had a little plastic bottle I put them in & put them in the closet under a stack of sheets. Well, guess who found them? I had to come up with something quick & all I could tell her was "those are the cat's teeth". Not the smartest thing to come up with, but she believed me at the time.

I think we've all done that at one time or another. It's tricky to remember stuff like that. Fortunately, I managed to think on my feet. I dropped a dollar on the floor and while he was looking for it under the bed, I slipped the tooth out and popped it into my pocket. Sleight of hand works every time!

That is too great. We have one of Santa's helpers named Elf 13 that pays a visit each day from Thanksgiving until Christmas... checking on the boys, he leaves a note and a little treat. They just love it..

BTW they just saw Santa while eating Mexican food. I posted about it on my blog "Things Kids Say Thursday's", it was too funny!

seriously I want to be like you with my kids so so cute,I love your kids names too anyway I could spend all day on your blog reading each one of your psts but at last i have a bunch of comments to get to. So i'll be back!

My favorite note from the tooth fairy came from Snoopy -- who I was obsessed with at the time -- explaining he traveled with the fairy on occasion and leaving his pawprint in ink alongside the money....

LOL -- too funny. We had the issue of forgetting about a tooth & it was mother's day. We were able to pull one over on our dd and tell her the Tooth Fairy had mother's day off but surely would deliver the next day! And your notes from Santa remind me of when I was a kid. We were really naughty - or so my parents thought, and our presents always appeared under the tree before Christmas. So one day we came home & all the presents were gone and there was a scribbled not in the tree from the Grinch saying if we weren't good we would not be getting our Christmas presents that year. Scared the pants off us and you bet we were good!!! Maybe you can try that another time if you are having issues w/the kiddos! Happy SITS day to you (sorry for the long comment!)

OH, I LOVE this! A friend of mine talks on the phone to her boyfriend's 3 yo daughter as various Disney princesses and tells her to act nicely. And it works! This started when she started peeing on the floor of the garage...

Santa and the Easter Bunny write my kids notes...and they listen because it's not me. I really love the note to the tooth fairy. The Tooth Fairy forgot to come one time but she must have snuck in there while I was tearing apart the bed with my son and slipped it under the teddy bear.Holly @ 504 Main

LOL- good save! One night I woke up at 3 o'clock in the morning and remembered that the tooth fairy needed to stop by--- and went scrounging for buckage in the dark. Yup- he ended up with five bucks. Which is W-A-Y more than our tooth fairy usually gives. Yeah- it is still a talked about subject about how good that tooth had to have been to get five bucks! LOL- your girls have awesome personalities.

OMG, the Tooth Fairy has left so many notes for my boys. She's a complete dolt. One time, she left the money AND THE TOOTH under the pillow. She had to come back the next night to get it, and leave more money, of course.
